A clean, adequate supply of water and properly treated wastewater... 

Cleveland Wastewater Treatment Plant
Cleveland, Tennessee

Our approach to providing engineering services is simple: meet the needs of our clients.  At J. R. Wauford & Company, we recognize that professional services are what we offer.  Only by working with our clients can they be adequately served - after all, the client owns the system.  Although any engineer has an obligation to provide the best technical advice possible, we also work hard at listening... and we hear you.

Time and again our clients want, demand and deserve engineering solutions and facilities which are cost effective, energy efficient and easily operated and maintained.  Above all, solutions and facilities must get the job done.  In short, facilities must work as intended and not bankrupt the client in the process.

Pure service encompasses everything we do on your behalf.  It means being timely in our response, properly identifying and understanding your real needs and problems, devising cost effective designs, exercising rigid quality control procedures in design, thorough monitoring of contractor performance, seeing the job through to completion, instructing your operators during start-up, and generally doing whatever it takes to serve and protect your interests.

J. R. Wauford & Company, Consulting Engineers, Inc. is an environmental consulting firm with nine registered professional engineers and twelve total graduate engineers.  We concentrate on the interrelated environmental disciplines of municipal water and wastewater, industrial waste, environmental permitting and solid waste.  The firm has been providing services to the municipal water and wastewater market since 1958.

J. R. Wauford & Company, Consulting Engineers, Inc. is owned and managed by stockholders, who are also engineers employed by the company.  We have three offices located one in each of the three grand divisions of Tennessee.
